Our Campground host were awesome and they're cleaning skills were outstanding. They are very friendly and we enjoyed visiting with them. During our stay the hand pump water was disabled due to bacteria and E coli. Information on this is from the testing facility. During treatment of the water the hosts were able to have potable water brought to the campsite in a large container. There are no trails or ORV areas at this site. Note: The hand pump water is not for filling your camper. Carry you own containers.

Beautiful national campground. Campsite was pull through in a dense forest. Never could find the hiking tra at campsite 13 and did not want to get lost. We had rain and hail, the temps were very low. Well maintained.
